I am wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these bark collars. I currently use 3 dogtra e-collars and am a huge fan of them. However, leerburg only sells tritronics and I was wondering if anyone had experience with either to tell me the pros and cons they noticed. The one thing that has me leaning towards dogtra is that it is fully waterproof whereas the tritronics does not make the claim fully waterproof.

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks!

Ed calls Dogtra "some of the finest e-collars made."

Oh. Duh. "Bark collar." Not "e-collar."

Someone else want to reply and take some attention away from my non-response?

I have the TriTronics Bark Limiter collar and know a few other members have one as well, as I had a thread about it a while back where a few folks shared their experiences with it. Those members were pleased with it, as am I! I'm not an expert or anything, but the collar has worked well for me and of the five levels it has, I've only had to use up to a three. The thing I like the most about it is that it has a counter on it which will tell you how many times the dog barked while you were away. This was especially helpful for me in monitoring the progress of the problem (my dog had begun barking for about an hour after I left the house, no matter the amount of exercise/stimulation she had before I left and the neighbors finally complained once when she did it at night). I haven't had to use the collar in a while - she got the point. I would recommend the collar to others and would buy another if I needed it.

ETA: I also had no problem finding a hole to fit my dogs neck snugly - I didn't have to create one of my own or anything like that.

I use both tritronics Bark limiter and e trainer sport edition. I love them both and live in one of the wet places of the world. Never a problem with either collar *however* I do not let my dog go swimming with the bark collar on. I use bark collars for time in a kennel and time in a crate. When out running about the collar is off.

Thanks for comments. Problem usually occurs when in backyard and in the pool. That's why I need fully waterproof. We just moved and I just need it for yard and pool as Ted barks while playin in yard and while chasing me in the pool. He isn't swimming at this point but will jump in to the ledge and then out to chase me.
